Create a Kerberos configuration file

Map Step 2 towards the goal: Setting up Kerberos as the authentication mechanism for WebSphere Application Server

About this task

The IBM® implementation of the Java Generic Security Service (JGSS) and KRB5 require a Kerberos configuration file (krb5.conf or krb5.ini) on each node or Java virtual machine (JVM). In this release of WebSphere® Application Server, this configuration file should be placed in the config/cells/<cell_name> directory so that all application servers can access this file. If you do not have a Kerberos configuration file, use a wsadmin command to create one.

Read the Creating a Kerberos configuration article for more information.
